C64 Soulless and Despondent(1)
Because of this heavy rain, the usually bustling pier was now empty. It was even silent and dark. Only the ships at the docks were sparsely lit.1
Soong Shiyan walked alone in the heavy rain for a long time. When she walked to her feet, she was numb and unconscious. When she walked to her, her entire body was ice-cold. She staggered to the dock, dizzy.
She looked at the vast and empty dock in front of her and could not help but worry. Her uncle had already planned to return to the island before nightfall. It was already so late, and the rain was still pouring down. Would they still be waiting for him at the dock?
Soong Shiyan walked to the edge of the dock and looked at the row of boats in front of her. She carefully inspected them one by one, trying to find the familiar and dilapidated fishing boat. Suddenly, her feet slipped and she fell to the ground. Her arms rubbed against the ground, causing blood to seep out. The gauze wrapped around her arm had long since disappeared without a trace as she ran. The rain poured down and washed away the blood from the wound on his arm. However, the pain from the wound would not disappear with the rain. Soong Shiyan shook her head as she tried to support herself on the ground with her hands. She struggled to get up and continued to walk forward.
Finally, that familiar and shabby fishing boat appeared in her field of vision. Her heart was warmed by the orange lights on the fishing boat. Tears welled up in Soong Shiyan's eyes. She couldn't help but quicken her steps as she ran towards the fishing boat. For some reason, when she was in such despair and saw this small fishing boat in front of her and thought of that small island in the distance, her heart miraculously calmed down.
"Lentinus edodes, Lentinus edodes —" Soong Shiyan staggered over to the side of the fishing boat and called out hoarsely.
"Vanilla!" In the next second, the wild joy of the lentinus edodes came from the fishing boat. In just a few moments, the familiar figure appeared on the deck of the fishing boat.
"Is the coriander back yet?" Hearing the commotion, the uncle also followed closely behind the mushroom. He looked at Soong Shiyan with a worried expression and asked, "Spice, what happened to you?" When I asked him, he stammered and stuttered. All he knew was that you were kidnapped by a bunch of man in black. I was really anxious. I wanted to bring Lentinus edodes to the police station to call the police, but I didn't know your true identity. I had no choice but to return with Lentinus edodes and wait for you at the dock. Fortunately, the Bodhisattva heard my prayers and brought you back safely — the cilantro, those people, what have they done to you … " said the old man, bringing a plank to prepare the ladder for the boat.
Soong Shiyan's eyes reddened as she looked at the worried faces of her uncle and her lentinus edodes. She choked with sobs and said, "Uncle, lentinus edodes, I …" She choked up so much that she couldn't speak. She could only allow the tears to flow freely down her face.
When Mushroom saw Soong Shiyan in this state and saw that the wooden planks were not yet finished, she hurriedly jumped from the deck to the dock. He hugged Soong Shiyan tightly and couldn't help but shed tears. He choked with sobs as he said, "Spice, you … where did you go?" I thought you, never, never, never, ever came back. "
Soong Shiyan snuggled close to the mushroom, feeling an inexplicable sense of security and warmth. Then, she gently pushed away the mushroom, raised her head to look at his anxious face, extended her hand to hold his warm hands, and forced a smile as she said to him, "I said, I will always be by your side, to protect you. Look, didn't I come back well? Lentinus edodes, I'm really sleepy and tired right now. I really want to go home. " With that, Soong Shiyan closed her eyes and fell to the ground.
"Vanilla!" The lentinus edodes caught Soong Shiyan in one go and shouted with a panicked expression.
Soong Shiyan heard a panicked cry from the lentinus edodes through the hazy fog. After that, her world became a complete mess.
… ….
A black car stopped at the corner of the dock. The woman in the back seat watched Soong Shiyan's figure slowly fall down. Her eyes slightly moved and she couldn't help but clench her hands. She quickly returned to normal with an indifferent expression.
"Mistress, since we've found Dijin's whereabouts, what should we do with her?" The woman in the driver's seat looked at Soong Shiyan who was in the arms of Soong Shiyan, a flash of killing intent quickly flashed in her eyes.
"Since Dijin has already lost her memories, then I will do as she wishes and let her go just like that! As for that Tiankui, first let her live, then I'll let her make up for it! " The woman leaned against the leather chair, closed her eyes, rubbed her forehead and thought for a moment, then slowly said.
"Mistress, I'm afraid this is a bit inappropriate, right? Who knew if Dijin really lost her memories, or if she was faking it? Xue Zhaowu was the only one who could walk out of the organization safely. Subordinate thinks that it is extremely possible that Dijin is faking amnesia, secretly joining forces with Xue Family to deal with the organization. If that's the case, I'm afraid … Furthermore, at most, Tiankui is just an accomplice. Dijin is the real mastermind, and the master has punished Tiankui and took half her life. Yet, he dares to release Dijin so easily. The woman in the driver's seat looked at her mistress in the rearview mirror. She hesitated, but she still couldn't help but speak out.
"Rose, I've always thought highly of you, and treated you as my right-hand man. However, you've been a bit impatient lately! Do you think I don't know that you guys killed Dijin behind my back when you told the rest of the organization to hide it from me? Do you know why Dijin became the most outstanding assassin in the organization after she entered the industry later than you? That's because your hearts are filled with too many desires, and Dijin, in her heart, only has me, her master, to command her. There has never been a person like you, who would not hesitate to attack your companions in order to become the strongest person in the organization, "the woman coldly said, her voice containing a hint of chilliness," If, Dijin hadn't lost her memories, how could she have let us follow behind her for such a long distance? Or is it because you are overestimating your own abilities? "
"Mistress, please forgive us, Rose knows that she was wrong!" Hearing this, Rose's expression immediately changed, then she said with a frown, "Then, about the Xue Family … …"
"Did anything happen at the Xue Family?" Hearing this, the woman opened her eyes, revealing a sharp gaze.
"Reporting to Master, nothing big happened on the Xue Family side, it's just that the young lady on Xue Family, Xue Lingxi, was sick. Xue Hengyuan has already put down what he was doing and went home to accompany her." Rose replied.
"Recently, let's not bother about the matters of the Xue Family anymore. After so many years of fighting, I still wasn't able to determine the victor. I was a little tired. During this period of time, I will go abroad to rest. As for the organization, I will leave it to you and the Begonia to temporarily manage it. Remember, don't take advantage of my absence to take revenge on a personal grudge. Especially, don't let anyone harm Dijin. If I come back and you disobey my orders, you should know what the consequences are — Let's go! " The woman looked through the curtain of rain and saw Soong Shiyan being carried onto the boat by a mushroom. She expressionlessly turned her head and coldly said to Rose.
"Yes, Mistress." Rose nodded and said. She couldn't understand why her usually ruthless master would give a damn about Dijin, who wanted to leave the organization. Her mistress was too kind to Dijin!
The car disappeared into the rain.
